Limin' Beach Bar in Lambeth

Went on a Thursday Afternoon. Ordered Doubles, Plantain, Curry Chicken, Spritz, and Tropical Punch. It all tasted great, and ordered some for takeaway. Staff were kind, and good service on a quieter afternoon. The atmosphere was fine, but my Trini family mentioned it could use some Carribbean music. The menu needs updating as one fish item has recently been changed, Salmon to Sea Bass.

Excellent friendly service. Especially Renelle!

This was my first time at Limin and I loved it. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were delicious. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thank you for a fantastic lunch.

An excellent time celebrating Mothers day, the food was amazing, cocktails too, lovely family friendly atmosphere and can't wait to return, an absolute gem!!

We our a house of 7 with autism. And we been trying new foods. Today with 1 of our sons found this amazing Caribbean restaurant. What can I say but wow. The staff were 10/10 food was just out of this world so much we booked to go back again on Saturday. Can not wait. Update toke my son Aston today. And we both agree we found Caribbean heaven. The goat curry was delicious 😋🤤🤤

I have to be honest in my review and say it did not really meet my expectations, maybe my expectations were too high as I was going there for, and expecting a real Trinidadian experience which I did not receive. To begin with, the furniture for me was not up to standard, it was extremely basic like bargain furniture. Regarding the atmosphere, I expected more of a ‘Trini’ atmosphere, the music should have at least been Trinidadian, the waitresses just wore their own clothing so, it was difficult to know who was staff and who was not. They should all have been wearing something to represent Trinidad, maybe t-shirts of the flag, there was nothing in the restaurant that represented Trinidad. Upon greeting we should have been asked whether we have been there before, and then explained how the food will come/be presented. The presentation was nice in individual bowls and I enjoyed the majority of food. The vegan frets, the dhal and chick pea curry were my favourite. I absolutely loved! The hot sauce, although I would have more of it. I was disappointed with the rum punch, we brought a bottle, but it was weak in strength. I expected it to be strong like what I have whilst in the Caribbean. In my view Limins has some work to do in order to give people that real Trini experience and the longing to come back for more.

AMAZING FOOD, AMAZING STAFF. Takes me right back to Trinidad, 🇹🇹 the doubles are to die for real authentic doubles. Fish thali was amazing it was an experience, several small dishes in one meal. It feels like a journey not meal. Going back next weekend and the chef/owner even came over and spoke to us personally. Amazing independent restaurant.

Marzo de 2025 Rissa, muchas gracias a ti y al equipo de LIMIN. Su servicio, comprensión, cuidado y apoyo fue de primera categoría! El ambiente, el dj y el ambiente era de 10 / 10. Todos estábamos muy contentos con cómo resultaron las cosas. Y todos calificaron las alitas de pollo como 🔥🔥🔥😋. Muchas gracias Sham y James! ¡Sé dónde parar cuando esté cerca de Southbank!

La comida y la hospitalidad era muy pobre. El arroz estaba frío y las patatas fritas eran demasiado saladas. Tan decepcionados como viajamos tan lejos para venir.

Great food and the customer service was exceptional. We had a lovely lunch there. We loved the vibes.

Didn't enjoy the experience here at all unfortunately. The menu was a bit confusing. When we asked the person who served us about which were the mains, which were displayed on the menu with, we assume, the small plates, she didn't seem very knowledgeable or bothered to explain. When the food finally arrived, it was alright, nothing special at all, but for £45 ahead for lunch we all expected something more. We had to approach staff twice for missing items. The staff gave the impression that they were disinterested with our table, which we all felt. I don't know, the vibes were not good. I've never been here before so I can't say if this was a one off or not. We did order a couple more drinks, but only one arrived, so this being the second time we were missed/forgotten, we decided to pay and leave. The staff did not ask us how we found the meal and we didn't bother raising it. The best thing in our order were the fried plantain.

El precio se adapta a un nivel más alto de comida, servicio y lugar, así que me sentí engañado. Cuidado ya que no hay precios en el menú y puedes llevarte una sorpresa al recibir la factura. La comida está bien, pero una vez más, usted esperaría más que bien por el precio. El personal no es muy amable y el lugar es más como una estructura temporal que se encuentra en un festival, en lugar de una experiencia de restaurante de la ciudad (suelos de aglomerado, etc.). Definitivamente no vale la pena cuando se trata de precio v comida y bebidas experiencia. Cuando llegamos, incluso nos preguntamos si habíamos llegado al lugar correcto, ya que las fotografías no reflejan la realidad en mi opinión. Solo tienes que ir a tu tienda local de roti y ahorrarte el gasto.

The price is suited to a higher standard of food, service and venue, so I felt cheated. Watch out as there are no prices on the menu and you could get a surprise on receiving the bill. The food is ok, but again, you'd expect more than just ok for the price. The staff are not very friendly and venue is more like a temporary structure that you'd find at a festival, rather than a city restaurant experience (chipboard flooring etc). Definitely not worth it when it comes to price v food and drinks, experience, etc. When we arrived, we even wondered if we had come to the right place as the website photographs don't reflect reality in my view. Just go to your local roti shop and save yourself the expense as there's not much between them.

We travelled down from outside of London as we wanted to try this restaurant plus we're vegetarian and it seemed to have a few options. Firstly, we were surprised to see that we passed a lot of restaurants on the Southbank and when we arrived at Limin' we found that it was in an area where there were some boutiques and a few other eating places but it looked like a temporary structure rather than a purpose built restaurant. The food was tasty and presented well but in our view it was expensive for what we received plus the portion sizes were far too small. The service was timely but just ok, one girl was very friendly and the other one was not very talkative for a host. Neither of the children liked the macaroni cheese which is not normal for them and they could not finish it. The atmosphere was also just ok. We spent quite a bit of money for two adults and two children and we were all left hungry afterwards. We ordered the veggie platter which was nice, the drinks were good also. None of the desserts appealed to us so we left after the main courses. Average dining experience for veggies, tasty food, unfortunately we won't be visiting again, we didn't think it was worth the money spent.

We travelled a long way to experience what people were talking about on social media. I ordered the Trini -Thali and my friend ordered the chicken wings and chips. Her chips were overly salty. She explained to the waitress that she has high blood pressure and she could not eat it. She came back with chips without salt. During this time I had to wait 15-20 mins for my meal. My friend had finished her meal. I expected for both meals to come out at the same time so we can eat together. The food was presented well but the food was lukewarm and the rice was cold, I didn't it eat. Will not be visiting again. Very disappointed.

Delicious food, presented brilliantly. Enjoyed the food & atmosphere.

The positive review for this establish is the wonderful customer service from Dillon, a very professional well mannered courteous and friendly member of staff. We were celebrating a birthday and he was very accomodating. With the plesantries out of the way, we were very disappointed with this supposed "caribbean" restaurant. Being of caribbean descent and very familiar with our cuisine my guest and i resented paying for this overpriced food which tasted solely Indian rather than West indian. The website and description on Instagram of the overall experience is deceptive. There was nothing carribbean about this place not even the music. I would suggest the owner deeply reflects on what he's trying to create. Warning to all who wants the carribean experience...do not waste your money you might as well go to Turtle Bay.

The food was delicious - amazing thali, and panipuri, beautifully flavoured. Definitely recommend the food! Quite weird vibe as it was decked out as an alpine ski lodge.

We came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch. I'm always on the lookout for good Caribbean food and was keen to visit this restaurant since I love visiting and walking around the South Bank area. The food was okay but I was disappointed with the fried plantain ( see photo), which arrived later than our main and was over ripe and overcooked. I mentioned this to our server, who took the price off my final bill - which I did really appreciate (hence the extra star for service). I agree with other reviewers who said it was pricey. I really don't think I'll return though.

We celebrated my mum’s 60th birthday at Limin Southbank, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the vibes were immaculate—great music, delicious Caribbean food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. A huge shoutout to Rissa and Sham, who went above and beyond to make sure my mum’s night was extra special. She felt so celebrated, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a spot with fantastic food, incredible hospitality, and real Caribbean energy, Limin Southbank is the place to be! 🌴🎉🔥

Too bad the weather didn't match the food, atmosphere and service. An excellent time was had. Another visit is upcoming and I am looking forward to it.

Vine aquí por casualidad solo pasando por la parte trasera del Southbank, resulta que perderse resultó genial! Tuve el pollo al curry con arroz y los mejores roti que he tenido en mucho tiempo!

This place was just INCREDIBLE! Such wonderful food, service and quality. We got the Thali and I added curried goat which was so tender and melt in the mouth! I couldn’t recommend enough, each dish was divine. If you go you won’t regret it ♥️

We travelled quite a way for this experience. We had seen the place on Instagram recommendations so decided to visit. Not many people in the restaurant when we came so the service and atmosphere was calm and quiet. I like the cosy, winter vibe they've tried to create, and look forward to visiting again in summer to see the beach style set up. Cocktails were nice and food was nice (especially for vegans). Maybe a tad expensive though, and not much variety for meat eaters. I think the plantain portion should have been much bigger (or half the price for the amount you got). Next time, I'll try the doubles, as this place does seem like it specialises in Trini-type foods.

Had an amazing meal here with my mum and dad. The food and drinks were amazing, and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

The food was truly great - exciting, right level of spice, delicious. This place is such a find. It's so cozy, also if you just want to have a drink or two. Thank you Guneet and Chloe for a wonderful evening!

Probably the most attentive staff members!!! Thank you so much!

Que alguien me explique por qué dice ‘pollo frito y el pollo no está frito. Tuvieron la mejilla de traerme Mac y queso y me faltaron al respeto y le pusieron crutones. Conduje 15 millas y gasté 120 libras en comida que no tenía sabor. El ponche de ron no tenía ron ahí, era básicamente un refresco. El dueño estaba caminando en pantalones cortos y deslizadores. Tuvieron la osadía de traerme la parte más barata del pollo dándome pierna izquierda no había pechuga ni muslos. La puerta es muy peligrosa.

Location and atmosphere was really good unfortunately the food didn't meet our expectations espically considering how expensive it was. Good to have for special occasion.

Terrible service, 30 minuts wait for drinks, 40 for dishes, 5 waitress and we had to remind twoce about order Nightmare, not recommend.

The staff is extremely friendly and polite. Super amazing vibe, music and had some of the best wings ever. Thanks!

Loved the Trini Puri! I didn’t partake but everyone said the rum punch was the bomb 🍹 This is Caribbean backyard culture elevated for Londoners - authentic enough for those who want a taste of home and everything else enough to fit right in and “play yuhself” at South Bank!

The goat curry was tasty spiced with an in-house mix of ingredients. The soft roti, flavoursome dahl and achar condiments. Wide selection of drinks.

It was a very good place to have a nice lunch, we took our dog there and the staff was very nice 🙂, great bonus that it is dog friendly and it is very warm in there

Lovely spot for lunch or dinner, the food is delicious it just gets a bit cold inside Lots of vegan options

Visited for a party. Fantastic atmosphere. The staff were really friendly and service excellent. The food was really delicious - you can't go wrong visiting this venue.

Limin was nice, the food was okay, a bit pricey for two main meals, starters and cocktails. I would visit again but maybe not for a while. The staff were friendly and welcoming. There was a dish on the menu we wanted but could only order one as they had run out. It was okay but not quite what I expected. I went just after Christmas, it was quiet which probably affected the atmosphere. The music was good.

Special thanks to the chef for responding to an unusual dietary requirement (low fibre). Food is excellent.

From the moment we entered the venue to the time we left, the service was exceptional from start to finish! We absolutely loved the rum punch and doubles—such a treat! We only wish there were more options for them, as they would make a fantastic lunchtime menu addition with a variety of toppings. The quality of the food was outstanding, and we all left feeling completely satisfied. While one menu option was out of stock (understandable after Christmas), it didn’t take away from our experience. We’ll definitely be returning to Limin again soon!

Food not good (fondue), poor service, and very expensive 😒

We had such an amazing overall experience. The food, hospitality and ambiance made us feel like we were back in the Caribbean. I would highly recommend if you are looking for an authentic experience. We would absolutely be visiting again! Thanks Guneet and Sham for a fantastic experience.

Delicious food and very good service, attentive to the customer. We were served by Chloe, so nice and friendly!

Great service and delicious food.

Guneet was 10/10 no notes. Excellent mulled wine.

Great atmosphere for Christmas! Fondue and some drinks were perfect for a night out and catching up. Guneet provided great service.

My friends and I came to Limin for some cocktails and the fondue. The cocktails were very well made and the fondue was delicious. It was a chill atmosphere and our server Guneet was very nice and attentive. I would definitely come here again.

Great atmosphere. The owner came over and greeted us. There were 3 of us. For starters we shared...Calamari,Trini Doubles, Plantain and Freeta. For mains I had The Goat, British off the bone goat with steamed rice. My other guests had The Goat and a Grande Curry Vegetable. Great service by Guneet It was lovely that the owner stopped by several times. Nice background music. Nice decor

First time trying Trini food and I loved the doubles. The atmosphere, ambience and decor here is lovely although I would have liked a table near the fireplaces so bear in mind not all seats have the cosy feel. The staff are polite, not really informative enough for me specially when first time trying certain foods. The food was lovely very flavourful. The only thing that let the restaurant down for me was the prices. Maybe because I can cook curry goat (for example) I wouldn’t expect to pay £25 for it when I know how much goat I can get for that at my butchers. Having said that times are hard (cost of living) plus the location have to be taken into account. I just personally wasn’t happy to pay that price. The starters say to share… they ain’t big enough to share unless you get a few between two people. Loved the fritters and the drizzle it came with not the Mac and cheese so much it’s different, has flavour but not for me it’s also £10 the most I have paid for Mac and cheese in my life.

Delclicious food, great crowd of people, lovely service

Thank you for good evening, Guneet was very sweet. Definitely will come back again xx

Thanks for service. Guneet was really nice and hospitality

Gumeet was very attentive and we would definitely recommend coming to Limin! 10/10

Starters were really good accept the doubles. In fact none of the curries were properly cooked. There was a raw taste of curry, not the best Trini food. In fact non Trinidadian dishes were much better. Also a bit pricey for what it was. Service was good.

We loved the authentic food, amazing drinks and great vibe.

My first time coming here. The atmosphere is lovely all staff are nice,friendly and welcoming. I was served by Guneet who was very attentive to us throughout our time. The food was great everything was cooked perfectly and nice and fresh. Will definitely be visiting again

The food was amazing the curry goat just melts in your mouth and the Crème de la crème cocktail is 10/10 definitely worth a visit and service was really good Guneet made sure we had everything we needed.

Cain was a fantastic waiter. Had a really good knowledge of the food and was able to explain options which helped with deciding on what to pick. The owner was very friendly and engaged with us. Which was really nice. Atmosphere 5* The waiters were friendly and helpful

Decent sized portions and well presented. The food was tasty but not all the dishes were what I know and grew up eating as authentically Caribbean. However, I did enjoy my meal and it was nice to have something different to eat near the Southbank.

can't get enough of this place ,home away from home always feel welcomed everytime

We’ve visited Limin before, but unfortunately, our experience last night was disappointing. We waited a long time for someone to serve us, and when the order arrived, it was wrong, so we had to remind the staff. We had ordered two of the same dish, but both plates looked different. The chicken was underseasoned, and while the sauce was nice, the meat itself was bland. On a positive note, the rum punch was good and well-portioned, offering great value for money. The crowd was diverse, but it was surprising that the music played had no Trinidadian influence at all, especially since we’ve enjoyed soca during previous visits. We also waited a long time for the bill, which only came after we requested it. My friend decided not to pay the service charge, as the service didn’t meet expectations. It’s unfortunate because we’ve always enjoyed coming to Limin, and we hope this was just a one-off experience.

Dillion was a phenomenal server - great time & great food & drinks

Amazing place, loved the toffee vodka shot!

Good service but extremely bland food

Great food and great atmosphere

Gurneet was amazing. Amazing food and atmosphere!

Amazing food! Thank you for great service!

Lovely Christmas lodge, incredible food, and the staff were incredible. Highly reccomend and will definitely be coming back

Amazing food and a great atmosphere!!! I’ll definitely come back again

Great place, very festive! Guneet was very helpful

Great service and food! Shout out to Guneet - would definitely come again!

Attended with an old friend from school days. The Corn Chowder for starters was delicious. Freshly cooked ingredients lifted the flavours. Whilst eating our starter the servers brought our main course which I've never experienced before in any other restaurant, so by the time we started the mains it was cold! I had the "sea bass" which was drowned in a heaving sauce totally obliterating the taste. The Mac&Cheese was quite tasty but dry. My friend had the Trini Ham which she thoroughly enjoyed. A bit unnerving that men and women shared the same toilet area! All the staff were very friendly, willing to help and service with a smile. The overall experience was good and would definitely go again!

This was a pleasant surprise! Overall the food was prepared well Goat was tender and just enough flavour. Roti was 10/10 but for £4 should be giving guests a whole one not half. The Mac and cheese was NOT good at all! I had literally half a bite and asked the waiting staff to remove it from the table. Luckily the rum punch made everything ok again… lovely balance of flavours! Atmosphere was nice and very Christmassy but would have loved more Caribbean music

The vibe is absolutely amazing. If you're a soca lover you will be very happy. The doubles tasted very authentic. The service was great!

We had a lovely family dinner, it was the perfect atmosphere for a catch up, the location was a little out of the way, but that was quite nice actually. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive. Also we cooked through the App FirstTable and had 50% off of the bill, it was very good value for money!!

Perfect meal. Very tasty and great service. A brilliant spot just off the busy London South Banks. Highly recommendable.

Dillon was amazing looked after us so well. Top service even giving us a complimentary drink while our bottle of Prosecco chilled! Thank you so much .. also 10 out of 10 to the chef for the delicious food!

Great venue for groups with vegan options. Thank you to Nahilda who made sure our work evening was great

I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I was with friends so it was the perfect place to catch up with friends. The food was so good am going home to slap my mum for not cooking like that. Highly recommended

Amazing customer service from Dillon very helpful and generous.

Great service from Alex and the best food on the bank always a pleasure to visit

Authentic trini cuisine, consistently outstanding food and great service. Big thank you to Alex, served us multiple times

Such an amazing atmosphere especially during Christmas! Loved spending time here. Great selection of non-vegetarian options! Definitely a recommend for anyone trying to spend a good time or chill! Lovely service by Guneet - thank you for everything!

I had an amazing time and Stephanie was amazing too

Waiters were lovely and attentive.

Good vibes and tasty doubles 🔥🔥 Stephanie was very lovely and attentive 🥰

Staff were so lovely and attentive! The doubles are a must try

Best dinner ever and great for gluten free!

Steph was the hostess with the most!

The food was amazing, best Jamaican food in London, fantastic service from Stephanie

This place is amazing and the vibes is giving me the Swiss Alps met the Caribbean. Excellent choices of food and don't miss ordering the calamari! The best one I've tasted for a very long time. The roti is fluffy and the curry goat is definitely the G.O.A.T. We were served by Stephanie who is full of great suggestions and has even told us the best way to serve money on shots!

Lovely impromptu lunch with a group of girl friends. Corn chowder was delicious and can highly recommend. Also shared some chicken wings and spinach fritters. Very tasty

Amazing food, great vibes! Highly recommend for a date with the love of your life! Enjoy!

Food was nice atmosphere good Stephanie was very attentive

Fantastic food. Was empty when we arrived but was buzzing later on. Think we arrived a bit early at 12.00

I had dinner here with a friend and everything we had was delicious. Between us we had the G.O.A.T, and the Fried Chicken which were both a very good portion size and tasted amazing. Service was friendly, warned us for last orders before the kitchen closed, and I'll definitely be coming back.

Dillon and Guneet were both really attentive and helpful.

Great food, drinks, and service from Dillon and Gineet.

Great service and food. Thanks, Dillon and Guneet.

Great service. Dillon was very helpful! We met the owner (Sham) who was very friendly and the food was lovely. Would recommend and would definitely be back.

Guneet and Dillon were ‘AMAZING’. Service was absolutely amazing from the second we walked through the door, to the moment we left. I most definitely will be returning as it was just unbelievable, the food and music, top tier. Also, Sham, those doubles were definitely what you made them out to be. The GOAT curry is a must as well, definitely get it !!! All the love and thanks, Kai and Sophie
